Hi total wine noob here - please spell things out a bit... the error i get that stops me from from loading medieval II is > fixme:d3d:IWineD3DDeviceImpl_CreateAdditionalSwapChain The app requests more than one back buffer, this can't be supported properly. Please configure the application to use double buffering(=1 back buffer) if possible and the how-to for this game says to go to the the "graphics" tab in the winecfg and select the double buffer whatever - there is no double buffer anything in my winecfg i have "allow desktop apps to stop the mouse.." "allow the window manager to control the windows" "emulate a virtual desktop" and "allow pixel shader" then the screen rez. i'm using ubuntu hardy installed via wubi i have installed the plethora of dependancies listed here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=297280&highlight=open+%252Fdev%252Fsnd%252Fseq+failed and have fixed the preloader error. i have an 8800GTX with the linux driver installed (i.e. compiz works) also, i have successfully used winetricks to install dotnet2.0 (if that helps) but cant get gecko/IE to connect to the internet - it installed, but just stays on a white screen...
